“Samantha was fantastic. She took great care of my older German Shepherd, Raven, which included special food and morning and evening medications. She checked in multiple times with pics which made me feel good and confident that Raven was in good hands. I'm already planning my trip next year and hope Raven can hang out at Samantha's again! Thank you!”


“Ellen and John were super responsive and gave me updates on my two dogs that they kept for the weekend. They sent photos snd let me know how the dogs were doing. Drop off and pick up was a breeze. Dogs seemed very happy, that made me happy! Thanks Ellen and John!”

“My Bella and I absolutely love Kimberly. It is so comforting that when we get to Kimberly's, Bella runs over and goes right into her home. Kimberly sends me pictures and compliments about my Bella....it makes my heart smile. THANK YOU to Kimberly for making me feel like my Bella's at her home away from home.”
“She was great with our 6 month old golden! He was very timid of other dogs and she slowly acclimated him to other dogs taking his timidness into consideration. I will definitely be using her again in the future.”

“I needed a caregiver for my 10 week dachshund for a 1.5 day event. At first I was very hesitant to leave my little guy with anyone but Jeffery was amazing. He provided such great care from the time i dropped the puppy off to the time i picked him up. Jeffery was very good at providing updates and photos of how well my little guy was doing. We plan on having Jeffery care for our dog for our next event.”

“Kate was great with our 2 dogs' second experience with Rover. Our smaller one is an anxious rescue who takes a while to get comfortable. Kate was patient and understanding with her. I definitely recommend boarding with her.”

About: Like many others, I am a dog lover and was raised taking care of family dogs. Unlike others, that passion led to training and classes, competing in dog sports, and now, competing in dog shows. I have experience with many breeds of all sizes, senior pet care, reactive dog care and training. I would love to help you with your pet care needs! I work from home, so my schedule is very flexible and I can accommodate most dogs’ needs. I currently have open availability for boarding, daycare, walks, and drop in visits. Dogs are treated like one of my own! I take your dog out for leashed potty breaks several times a day, according to their needs. While I am working, your dog can settle on the couch or one of the many dog beds, or relax and play with my dogs (a Golden Retriever and a Foxhound). If your dog likes the crate, I have an extra for them. When I run errands, your dog will be crated or gated in a separate room from my dogs for safety. I live on 4 acres next and next to a cemetery, so I can take your dog for relaxing walks in a peaceful environment.
“Heather was super responsive when asking about sitting my pups at the very last minute, and we are super appreciative! She sent pictures of my pups everyday, and checked in with us daily to let us know how they were doing. I could tell they both had a great time, and we would use Heather again!”


“Dianna and Matthew were excellent hosts for Blue. Dianna goes above and beyond to ensure you have all the peace of mind you need when leaving your dog. It was easily my best experience with Rover yet and I won’t hesitate to book with them again. Thank you!”

“Sara was amazing! I was super last minute with plans and she was able to board my puppy and kept me updated with photos the whole weekend. Extremely quick with responses and easy to get a hold of. 100% will be boarding with her again!”

“Ivy is a very shy dog so we were very nervous to leave her for the first time. Carol was reassuring in her kind gentle voice that she’d be fine. She sent daily notes and pictures. When I went to pick her up Ivy actually hid behind Carol. Hurt my feelings, but I knew she had bonded with Carol which is exactly what you want in a care provider. So thanks again Carol for an awesome job!”

“Our dog loved Brian & Kathleen and their home too! They were very friendly and easy to communicate with. They are very responsible and concerned about the safety of the dogs they care for. We would definitely book with them again and will recommend them to anyone who needs a good home to board their dog.”

“Maxine was a fantastic sitter for my puppy! Took her on hikes almost daily and handled her meds and everything with no issue. She also took some fantastic photos and shared updates daily. Highly recommend!”

“Tilly had a wonderful overnight with Bailey! (Kathy &Tim as well) We love the convenience of having a Rover right in our neighborhood. We appreciate the quick response we get from Kathy & Tim with answers to questions and updates on Tilly's care. Thank you so much!”

“Mariema was fantastic! She took our brand new 2 year old rescue with little helpful instructions from us and kept her busy, having fun and getting all that energy depleted each day. We got daily pictures and insights into her behavior. Would highly recommend and will be asking Mariema to keep this whirlwind again for us!”

“I recently adopted a bunny and we were going away on vacation for a few days… we needed someone who was able to watch my her while we were gone. We had a very nice meet and greet with Julia and she was very flexible with where my rabbit would stay, as well as how much space she could roam around in. She offered a whole room, that would be gated at the door, for my bunny. Since the meet and greet went so well, we booked her for the days we would be traveling. She made sure there was a carpet for my bun’s feet so she wouldn’t be on the hardwood floor. She put baby plugs in the outlets so my bunny couldn’t get to them. I felt very comfortable leaving my bunny with Julia and her family, they were all very kind. They even put a camera in the room so when they weren’t with my bunny, they could always keep an eye on her. My bunny seemed very comfortable and happy with the situation and adjusted very well because of Julia’s hospitality. Julia offered everything she could to make sure my bunny had an amazing stay. We will definitely be booking Julia again!!”

“Heather was super sweet, understanding and very responsive! She understood my circumstances for needing my kitty Poptart watched and had no complaints with how last minute my request was. When there was an interference with the pickup time, she was completely understanding and didn’t charge extra. I even told her about Poptart’s disliking of other cats, and she kept her in a room separate from her own and even offered to introduce my cat to hers to get her more accustomed to being around other cats in the future. Overall, she was a wonderful sitter and I’ll definitely consider her again in the future!”

About: We have two very high energy German Shorthair Pointers so I have lots of experience and good energy to bring for high energy dogs or cats! I do work from home full time, I love to get out of the house and do as much as possible with my free time! My dogs and I really enjoy running outside and chasing a tennis ball or finding a good stick to chew on! I look forward to my cats that like to wait in bed for me to play string with them at night!

“Richard cared for our 16 year old cat that has chronic health issues. Our cat takes several medications twice a day and eats a prescription diet. He did a great job, was very responsive, responsible and would contact me if he had a question. We felt like we left our cat and home in good hands. I will hire Richard again in the future when we need someone to look after our cat.”

“We could not ask for a better person to help care for our dogs !!! Joey was excellent with all three of them and completely trustworthy. I would absolutely leave him with our dogs at any time !!!!!!”


About: I have 5 years of experience caring for cats for family, friends, and neighbors. I can help with feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and checking in to make sure cats are safe and comfortable. I understand that cats can have different personalities, so I am patient, gentle, and respectful of their space. I always follow each pet parent’s instructions carefully and will treat your cat like part of the family.
“Lydia took excellent care of my 2 cats! I had never used Rover and was nervous about having someone in my home but she left my home tidy and my cats happy. I will utilize her services in the future and would highly recommend her to anyone.”


“Mariana took care of our cat while we went on vacation for 4 days. He’s a little shy but warmed up quickly to her, and seemed very content when we returned. In the past he would be very needy if we were gone for an overnight trip but he was perfectly happy, so it was clear he got a lot of attention and was well armed for. She also sent a bunch of pictures which we appreciated!”

About: I have 4 years of veterinary care experience along with 2 years of pet boarding experience. I own and care for several of my own animals as well! I am currently available for afternoon visits and care on week days. I have full availability on the weekends for any needs! I can also do midday pop in’s depending on location! I have 1 very friendly dog who does amazing with other animals but if your pet isn’t a fan I always have another safe space for them. I unfortunately do not have a fenced in yard therefore your pet will always be leashed for their safety. I will ensure we do lots of walks and playing to get their exercise!

“Rachel was professional, kind, and caring to our cat over the course of a week and a half. She skillfully administered his medication on the days he needed it, and went above and beyond to play with him, cuddle with him, snap photos, and get him fed and taken care of, all in a couple of visits each day. She consistently communicated with us, and delivered reports of her time with our cat after each visit. We highly recommend her to any and all pet owners!”


“Casey was amazing with my Pup Blaze and my Fluffy Cat Drishti. She has been here for a drop in/walk and has stayed overnight with them as well. I came home to a dog that I think was missing her and her husband and wasn't as thrilled to see me as he usually is. They had a great time and he has warmed up to me again. I will not hesitate to ever reach out to them for any additional help in the future and they would always be welcome in my home again.”


“Great communication, very professional, immediately apparent that he knew his way around cats (was willing to crawl on the floor to get a picture of my skittish boy under the bed).”

“Heather was fantastic! We came to town in our RV for weekend class reunion. Heather cheerfully came to the TV park to sit with our 12 pound Yorkipoo, Bear. She sent photos and loved on him. Heather was a great communicator too. We highly recommend Heather to watch your furry friends! Sarah and John”

“Samantha is wonderful. Booking was done last-minute, on a holiday, no less. Samantha was kind, responsible, on-time, and would have sent intormation about my dog every 20 minutes if I wanted it. Highly recommend.”


“Ellen and John were wonderful throughout the booking, hand off and pickup process. Dale seems to have had a fabulous time with them! He was immediately comfortable and walked right off without looking back at me. I got pictures of during the day of him enjoying time outside. I will definitely be booking with them again!”

“This was our second booking with Jeffery, and it didn’t disappoint! Coco absolutely loved his stay, and we’re excited to be back for weekly daycare visits after Easter. Jeffery goes above and beyond with toys, activities, and care, keeping Coco happy, tired, and content. I feel so at ease knowing he is in such great hands. Highly recommend—Coco can’t wait to return! 🐾❤️”

“Charlotte was incredibly responsive when trying to organize a booking and provided numerous updates for me when she was watching Bear. Her attention to detail and care is wonderful and I will absolutely be using Charlotte again for my pup! I highly recommend her services!”


“Dianna was wonderful. She took the time to care about our dog’s personality and background. She made sure that he could always see one of them so he wouldn’t get anxious. She also took great pictures during our time away from him to reassure us. One of those is a great black and white photo that we will cherish! I would definitely recommend these people.”

“Kate gave excellent care to my two dogs for two days and was super friendly, communicative and responsive. My dogs loved the fenced backyard and were very relaxed when I dropped them off and very chill when I picked them up, so they were obviously happy to be with Kate and family. I highly recommend Kate for dog-care in the Canandaigua area!”


“Debbie was very good with Marshall, the introductions to the other dogs was done well! She was professional and a good communicator! Marshall had a great time! We will be using her again.”

About: I have taken care of small and large breeds of dogs since the young age of seven. As soon as I was able to as an adult I rescued a dog and a cat because no home is complete without the pitter-patter of furry feet. My pets are more than pets, they're family, and yours will be treated just the same when they're in my care. I am currently working part time at the library two doors down from my home so have plenty of time to care for your furry friend. I have a beagle/poodle mix that is two years old that loves to have friends to play with. He sleeps in the bed, but if you prefer your doggie to be crated I can do that too. I also have a 9 year old cat that thinks she's the mommy of the house. She is always cuddling the dog and bathing him.
“Sara set our minds at ease with her obvious compassion for our pet. The photos and video she sent us convinced us that Coco had found his new "Favorite Place". Thank you Sara, we look forward to seeing you again soon!”

“Kathy and Tim were wonderful! They have a beautiful home tucked into the woods, and a shady fenced in area for dogs to play. They were welcoming, and took good care of my dog Roni. Roni spent the day with Tim and Kathy, and loved playing with their dog Bailey. I hope to become a regular customer! Do not hesitate to bring your pup to stay with Kathy and Tim!”

I have a 3 year old Shepard/ Husky mix and a cat that likes to keep to himself. I'd love to stick to your routine as much as possible. If boarding with me, it is important all animals get along and are kid friendly. Please provide any toys/blankets that may help comfort your pup while they stay. Outside time can be on a leash in the backyard, a troll down the sidewalk, or a trip to the park.
“We can’t believe our luck that we found Ema and her beautiful kids and family to take care of our Coco. We felt that Coco was in perfect care and that is immeasurable assurance is everything. Thank you dear Ema we’re so glad we found you!”

“This was my first time booking and it couldn’t have been better. Kerrie was super patient and helpful as I navigated through everything, answering every question promptly. She was extremely accommodating as we pushed back our arrival time since we didn’t get into town until after midnight while also allowing us to do a later pickup so we could see everything we wanted to see. She was also kind in sending us a picture of our dog during the day. Kerrie, Thank you so much!”

“Maxine and Kyle are the sweetest, most lovely pair! They took amazing care of my dog and were very professional, responsive, and flexible with my plans. I would highly recommend them!”

About: My grandparents and mom were professional boarders, breeders, and handlers. I literally grew up on an ex-pen. Once my grandparents retired my mom opened a shop in 2006 and I joined as her certified bather and brusher in 2012. We have had our business ever since.. Taking care of dogs are literlly is in my DNA. I've also worked at a different grooming salon where I was also a bather and brusher. They loved me there because I always made their dogs feel warmed and welcomed by singing to them or giving them a nickname. I personally understand dogs better than humans. It would be my main gig as a job and take priority. I would be available everyday if need be. This is something that I love. Warm and welcomed. Treated as kings and queens who think they're in charge of the house. In or at a client's home respectful of their boundaries they have with their owner and the transition of the separation as they are handed off for their walk. Consoling and compassionate as well.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 11 years old. It started with my family dog, along with family members dogs. I would walk them and feed them. I then got my own dogs that I do all care for. I started fostering with a local rescue in 2022. I’ve cared for dogs with medical issues.

I am able to check in, walk, feed, etc, dogs before work, during my lunch and after work. I have 2 dogs of my own. We live in a 3 bedroom house. Unfortunately, I don’t have a fenced in yard.

“Karibian was a joy to have walk my dog Lani. She was professional, kind, knowledgeable and engaged in great conversation. Lani simple adores her. I had recently fallen and fractured my hip so I needed someone to walk my dog. She was very attentive to Lani, played with her and gave her plenty of loving. She also kept me company and was so kind in assisting me a few times, although she didn't have to. I will definitely contact Karibian again for any future pet needs. I highly recommend.”

About: I have 5 years of pet care experience and truly enjoy spending time with dogs. I have cared for dogs for family, friends, and neighbors, including walking, feeding, playing, giving fresh water, cleaning up after them, and keeping them comfortable while their owners are away. I am patient, gentle, and responsible, and I always try to follow each pet parent’s instructions carefully. I understand that every dog has its own personality, routine, and comfort level, so I take time to make pets feel safe and cared for. Pet care fits well into my daily routine because I am usually home and able to give pets regular attention throughout the day. I can help with feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and check-ins. I try to keep each pet’s routine as close as possible to what they are used to at home. I have a fenced-in house with 4 bedrooms, so I can safely keep pets separated when needed. This is helpful for pets who need quiet space, slow introductions, or extra comfort. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully for feeding, walks, medications, and routines. I keep the home clean, safe, and calm, and I make sure pets are supervised and comfortable during their stay.
“Aracely let out and fed my puppy midday for 2 months until the end of my school year. She took great care of my little guy. There were two times that she canceled morning of and, with that late notice, I was not able to leave work or get anyone else to take him out. I understand life happens but my little guy did go to the bathroom in his crate both of those days. If I could give 4 1/2 stars, I would!”

“Another amazing bunch of walks for our pooch! Harper loves Mariana so much. Every time our doorbell rings she thinks it's for her! Thank you,Mariana for becoming part of our pack!”

Creating a safe environment, training your pet, and offering love and attention are crucial for their happiness. tailoring my care routine is key to ensuring a happy and healthy friend.

About: I always loved having pets growing up. I grew up in the country so we had a lot of space for animals to be able to run around and be outside. Dogs, cats, birds...practically every creature you can imagine. Currently I have a cat of my own, and a friend’s dog who I watch fairly regularly. It works out well because I’m a very active person who likes to get outside as much as possible—hiking when the weather permits and bringing him along with me. This is in part due to my ever-changing, flexible schedule. I have a few set shifts during the week, but for the most part I make my own hours and I have time to be available pretty much whenever I am needed!

“Samantha was fantastic. She took great care of my older German Shepherd, Raven, which included special food and morning and evening medications. She checked in multiple times with pics which made me feel good and confident that Raven was in good hands. I'm already planning my trip next year and hope Raven can hang out at Samantha's again! Thank you!”


“Ellen and John were super responsive and gave me updates on my two dogs that they kept for the weekend. They sent photos snd let me know how the dogs were doing. Drop off and pick up was a breeze. Dogs seemed very happy, that made me happy! Thanks Ellen and John!”

“She was great with our 6 month old golden! He was very timid of other dogs and she slowly acclimated him to other dogs taking his timidness into consideration. I will definitely be using her again in the future.”

“I needed a caregiver for my 10 week dachshund for a 1.5 day event. At first I was very hesitant to leave my little guy with anyone but Jeffery was amazing. He provided such great care from the time i dropped the puppy off to the time i picked him up. Jeffery was very good at providing updates and photos of how well my little guy was doing. We plan on having Jeffery care for our dog for our next event.”

“Kate was great with our 2 dogs' second experience with Rover. Our smaller one is an anxious rescue who takes a while to get comfortable. Kate was patient and understanding with her. I definitely recommend boarding with her.”

“Heather was super responsive when asking about sitting my pups at the very last minute, and we are super appreciative! She sent pictures of my pups everyday, and checked in with us daily to let us know how they were doing. I could tell they both had a great time, and we would use Heather again!”


“Dianna and Matthew were excellent hosts for Blue. Dianna goes above and beyond to ensure you have all the peace of mind you need when leaving your dog. It was easily my best experience with Rover yet and I won’t hesitate to book with them again. Thank you!”

“Sara was amazing! I was super last minute with plans and she was able to board my puppy and kept me updated with photos the whole weekend. Extremely quick with responses and easy to get a hold of. 100% will be boarding with her again!”

About: Hi Neighbors, I am a Natural World Enthusiast looking to provide support to pets and their owners in the community. My heart is geared towards animals. I have decades worth of experience caring for dogs, cats and other small pets, from my own to friends and clients in the professional setting. My goal is to provide a sense of physical, mental, and emotional well being for your pet. I am here to help fill in the gaps in your busy schedules and be there. So whether your pal needs a hike, walk around the neighborhood, a feeding, medication dose (dogs and cats) or just a visit, I have your back. We all need movement, attention and praise, pets included. I use positive reinforcement as training method, for all pets at every stage. So whether you have a puppy with some aggression issues, a husky that needs a run, a diabetic cat, fish to be fed and admired, or an stinky old man dog that just needs to be sung to and told he's a good boy I am here to serve. I have two cats personally, they run the household and tell me what to do. They eat twice a day, get their boxes cleaned daily, and petted and played when they decide. Monday- Thursday I am available for pet visits from 10:30-2:30 and again from 5-9 pm Fridays - I am available from 10:30-1:00 for visits Weekends-vary During daycare hours I will always be in the home with your pet unless we are going on an outing together. Play, snacks, walks, songs, and naps will be provided daily. I do have two cats, who will probably stay out of the way, but cat friendly creatures are always preferred.
“Our dog loved Brian & Kathleen and their home too! They were very friendly and easy to communicate with. They are very responsible and concerned about the safety of the dogs they care for. We would definitely book with them again and will recommend them to anyone who needs a good home to board their dog.”

“Maxine was a fantastic sitter for my puppy! Took her on hikes almost daily and handled her meds and everything with no issue. She also took some fantastic photos and shared updates daily. Highly recommend!”

“Tilly had a wonderful overnight with Bailey! (Kathy &Tim as well) We love the convenience of having a Rover right in our neighborhood. We appreciate the quick response we get from Kathy & Tim with answers to questions and updates on Tilly's care. Thank you so much!”

“Mariema was fantastic! She took our brand new 2 year old rescue with little helpful instructions from us and kept her busy, having fun and getting all that energy depleted each day. We got daily pictures and insights into her behavior. Would highly recommend and will be asking Mariema to keep this whirlwind again for us!”

“I recently adopted a bunny and we were going away on vacation for a few days… we needed someone who was able to watch my her while we were gone. We had a very nice meet and greet with Julia and she was very flexible with where my rabbit would stay, as well as how much space she could roam around in. She offered a whole room, that would be gated at the door, for my bunny. Since the meet and greet went so well, we booked her for the days we would be traveling. She made sure there was a carpet for my bun’s feet so she wouldn’t be on the hardwood floor. She put baby plugs in the outlets so my bunny couldn’t get to them. I felt very comfortable leaving my bunny with Julia and her family, they were all very kind. They even put a camera in the room so when they weren’t with my bunny, they could always keep an eye on her. My bunny seemed very comfortable and happy with the situation and adjusted very well because of Julia’s hospitality. Julia offered everything she could to make sure my bunny had an amazing stay. We will definitely be booking Julia again!!”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, and dogsitted for family and friends as well. I am an easy going, attentive and caring person, who will never leave the dogs side! They are in good company with me I’m home the entire day, and wherever I go, the dog goes with me! To the park, walk to the supermarket, to the beach, coffee dates, or simply just relaxing at home. They will always be in good company and constantly attended to! I have a big house very suitable for any size dog, including German Shepards! (I used to have one) I also have a large beautiful garden/ courtyard in which they can safely play with no traffic or problems, and a park right next door! I go running daily so if they’re active dogs they can join me with great pleasure! Or just a long leisurely walk, I’m quite an active person and anywhere I go the dog comes with me!
